Title: I'll say it again: watch Chernobyl. Post by: Black Diamond Vol on May 28, 2019, 05:08:55 EDT It's hard to watch, but you can't look away. It has gotten more intense with each passing week.
This thread on Twitter offers some very strong praise as to its authenticity: https://twitter.com/SlavaMalamud/status/1132029943297265664?s=19 Title: Re: I'll say it again: watch Chernobyl. Post by: Coupe De VOL on May 28, 2019, 05:16:02 EDT Incredible show - very well done.

Are you watching The Hot Zone on Nat Geo? It's about the ebola virus. It's only a three night mini-series and they show more than one episode each night. Last night was parts one and two and it came on at the same time as Chernobyl. But that's what DVR is for. Title: Re: I'll say it again: watch Chernobyl.

By the way, Liam Cunningham who played Davos Seaworth on GOT is in it. Title: Re: I'll say it again: watch Chernobyl.

Were there a lot of dogs howling as they died? :naughty: Title: Re: I'll say it again: watch Chernobyl. Post by: Black Diamond Vol on May 30, 2019, 08:15:31 EDT lol. What makes you say that?

Post by: Black Diamond Vol on May 30, 2019, 07:05:11 EDT Seriously, what about the show would upset your dog? Just curious. This last episode followed "wildlife control" around the town. Their job was to basically shoot anything on 4 legs, lest they get away and spread radiation throughout the continent. And most of the "wildlife" they engaged was actually pretty domesticated. Title: Re: I'll say it again: watch Chernobyl. Post by: droner on May 30, 2019, 07:56:15 EDT That was pretty rough. No pun intended.
The whole show is gruesome. The affects of radiation on man and machine are amazing. Title: Re: I'll say it again: watch Chernobyl.

Okay, but has your dog actually been acting upset or were you just joking? I had two dogs. One only reacted to sounds from the TV like howling or barking (or a doorbell!), the other one would actually watch and sometimes would bark at a "TV dog". The first one (my namesake Bandit) had bad eyesight, which probably explains why she only responded to sounds. Title: Re: I'll say it again: watch Chernobyl.

If something bad happens to that dog, he'll whimper and then come lay in my lap. He knows. I've actually seen several dogs in my life that do this or something similar. |
